I have a question about What do I do with "unknown" devices in Device Manager?:

When I reboot winxp loses all my hardware settings. When I reboot all the hardware such as printer,webcam, wintv all disappear and show up again as unknown devices. HELP

If you upgraded from an earlier version of Windows instead of a clean install, I could see where the old registry that was dragged along, might have caused this. Otherwise XP seems to be quite strong in this area, contrary to your unfortunate experience. Try re-installing XP from the CD, over the top of your current installation and see if that fixes it.
